Why people always think gothic metal is near symphonic metal? They are different worlds 😛 Why not gothic metal/ gothic rock band top? For me the best bands are Sins Of Thy Beloved, Theatre Of Tragedy ( times with Liv), Sirenia, Tristania,Type O Negative, 69 Eyes 🙂 from g rock- Sisters Of Mercy, The Cure, Fields Of Nephilim 🙂 Anyway good compilation of music 🙂
